The EU Cyber Resilience Act will effectively make open-source software illegal, and that sure as hell isn't pro-consumer. Neither is all the spooky surveillance and crippled cryptography they keep trying to mandate.

How exactly is open source illegal?

I mean.. lol

How are they even gonna enforce that?

Probably the same way they'll enforce their upcoming ban on encryption (yes really).

Fines, gigantic fines since people seem to love those.
